Ben123 Neutral Newbie August 15, 2008 Share August 15, 2008 Hi, Topped up my tank full(autostop) last night and I could smell petrol near the tank compartment after filling up. There was no spillage at that time. Thought it was unusual. Decided to park overnight to see how. This morning, as I approached the rear of my car, I could still smell petrol. Opened up the external cover and found the cap to be tightly closed. I did not see any leak from car bottom as well. Could anyone shed some light into this? Where else can the smell be from? is there a vapor vent somewhere??? Thanks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vtim 3rd Gear August 15, 2008 Share August 15, 2008 (edited) better check, definately a leak somewhere, petrol very ex now another thing is to check the petrol cover, most of them are black plastic and with a white internal tube portion. There is a rubber sealant at the bottom of the white portion that is nearer to the inside of the cap, it that is harden or broken, it will not provide a good seal and better to change it, else it will leak petrol vapour. if not this, better to get mech to check other part that links to the petrol tank Edited August 15, 2008 by Vtim ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, ‘old person smell’ is a thing – but what causes it and can you neutralise it?
